Why Not Just Put a For Rent Sign in the Front Yard?

Are you thinking about putting a for rent sign in the front yard and let people inquire? The list of objections to that goes on for pages. The major upkeep and repairs to the house are the same as when you lived there. But you had to deal with leaks, broken windows, hail damage, appliance replacement, and the like yourself. The renter will pick up the phone and turn the problems over to you. If you had a property management company in Plumpton for your house, they would have all the connections to fix problems with less cost than if you did it yourself.

Buying Investment Property?

This is a good reason to start with good property management in Plumpton. As already mentioned, in most states a property manager is also a licensed real estate agent/broker who can help you find good investment properties, steer away from white elephants, and guide you through all the paperwork required for a real estate purchase. This is where a Plumpton property management firm will be really helpful.

Services You Need from an Investment Property Management Firm in Plumpton

Vacancy Marketing

Vacancy Marketing is where the Plumpton property management firm cares for business advertisement. Investment property that is unoccupied is losing money for the owner. For example, say that one of your properties regularly gets $1,000 per month income. If that property sits vacant for even one month your annual income from that property has gone from $12,000 to $11,000 (or $916.66 per month). Because a good Plumpton property management firm does volume business in the area, they will be able to market your property cheaper and more efficiently that a single individual/owner.

Tenant Evaluation

Tenant Evaluation is another service your Plumpton property management company provides in much greater depth than an average individual is able to do. You want tenants who can pay their lease and have a history of being good renters elsewhere. You want tenants who demonstrate previous care for their rented property. Expert property managers in Plumpton are more likely than average individuals to be able to make good tenant calls.

Lease Enforcement is a vital contribution of your property management company. Everyone has heard the old phrase, “It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.”Whether the owner of the investment property is in the same city, across country, or overseas, the property manager is equipped to handle lease enforcement situations where a tenant has failed to honor the terms of the lease.

Obligations of the Owner

Obligations of the owner in investment property include repairs, appliance replacements, and possibly lawn and garden services among other items. A Plumpton property management company may even have a regular maintenance crew to go around inspecting properties and making small repairs. Barring an in-house crew, the property manager will have several local upkeep services she or he can depend on to handle your property’s needs. Such things come with the territory of investment property ownership. When it comes to appliance replacement, the property manager will be able to acquire those items quickly and at less cost than an individual would have to pay.
